Hail the King

Chapter 541: New Discovery

In these few days, Fei spent a lot of time in both the real world and Diablo World, accompanying Angela and Elena.

After this dangerous experience, Fei thought through a lot of stuff.

He was no longer solely focused on chasing after the elevation in strength. Instead, he also paid more attention to the people around him.

Of course, the king didn’t just slack off.

As he was spending time with Elena and killing monsters in Diablo World casually, his level increased as well. The two of them got even closer, and they got their seamless coordination back.

Right now, they already finished the third quest [The Tainted Sun] in the second map [Lut Gholein]. The Barbarian was now Nightmare Mode level 46, and Elena was now Nightmare Mode level 27. Both of them experienced an increase in strength.

Except for leveling up in Diablo World, Fei put a lot of effort into reading [Demon King’s Sword].

This book was just like an encyclopedia of cultivation and techniques from the ancient times. It contained the powerful techniques that were either lost and partial on the continent. Some of them are Moon-Class and Sun-Class Techniques, and there were a few Legendary and Mythical Techniques.

To Fei’s surprise, there were some techniques suitable for him! It was beyond his understanding of the cultivation and technique structure on Azeroth Continent.

His strength originated from Diablo World. His most powerful character, the barbarian, had little magic energy, and 99% of his power was physical strength.

After Fei learned granular control from Martial Saint Krasic, he was able to use the physical strength in a magical way. He was able to exert his physical strength to the area around him and create tangible stuff. It was not too different from warrior energy.

However, it was still different from warrior energy, and he couldn’t use the combat techniques in this world.

Fei tried to cultivate warrior energy before, but it seemed like his body was a little defective and couldn’t store warrior energy and form star swirls.

If it were for Diablo World, Fei would be a useless person in this world that was ruled by the law of the jungle.

Therefore, Fei was surprised to find techniques that were based on insane physical strength and could be used by him.

After reading a bit more, he was surprised again.

In the book, he discovered a unique technique of using physical strength. It allowed Fei to mimic warrior energy and use high-level combat techniques that otherwise could only be powered by warrior energy.

It reminded Fei of the traditional wuxia novel named ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’ by Jin Yong. In the book, a master was able to use a technique to mimic the internal force of Shaolin Temple and use the unique techniques of Shalin Temple.

To Fei, if he were able to master this technique, he would be able to use 90% of the combat techniques recorded on [Demon King’s Sword] and on Azeroth Continent.

To Fei who had the golden finger, Diablo World, he had a lot of time to study and learn the technique.

Thinking about how he could learn his enemies’ techniques in battle and defeat them with it, giving them a taste of their own medicine, the king was extremely motivated.

“Such a showy scene!” the king thought. It was one of the driving forces behind the effort he put into studying [Demon King’s Sword].

……

Three days later, Fei received another letter from the Letter Office in the afternoon.

In the letter, it mentioned that Arshavin, Zenit’s God of War, didn’t stop after conquering the Spartax Empire. Instead, he led 50,000 elite cavaliers and his own [Iron Blood Legion] toward the Eindhoven Battle Zone.

In just two days, Arshavin led the troops and traveled for more than 500 kilometers, killed 70,000 enemies, conquered seven cities, defeated the four main battle legions of Eindhoven, and kill more than 20 royal masters and legion commanders of Eindhoven. Then, he combined forces with the troops of Zenit already in the region and surrounded the Capital of Eindhoven. It wouldn’t take long for the city to be conquered.

Once the Capital of Eindhoven was conquered, the Eindhoven Empire would be wiped out.

Fei was shocked again.

In just less than ten days, Arshavin was able to push two level 1 empires this far. The long-time enemy of Zenit, Spartax, was wiped out with only a small and weak rebel force still around, and the Eindhoven Empire got its Capital surrounded.

“Could it be that the masters in both empires couldn’t deal with Arshavin and his [Iron Blood Legion]? Could it be that there are powerful masters under Arshavin’s command?” Fei suddenly thought back to the two guards Emperor Yassin had and the two Ghost Guards Emperor Kromkamp had. He suddenly realized that all the empires had their own hidden Moon-Class forces. Therefore, there must be powerful masters around Arshavin to defeat them.

Otherwise, the ordinary soldiers wouldn’t be able to push forward so fast and smooth.

Also, in the letter, it mentioned that the Jax Battle Zone, which was insignificant before, was getting a lot more attention since the other two wars were almost done. A lot of nobles and officials in the Military Headquarter were displeased with the fact that Fei still hadn’t defeated the invaders of Jax yet. They were planning to make Arshavin the head commander of the Jax Battle Zone.

If Fei couldn’t get a big win in a short time, he might be replaced.

Everything was going in the direction that Strategist Old Aryang predicted.

“Humph! F*ck this position of head commander. I don’t like it anyways. It would be great if I can get out of here.”

Fei thought as he flicked his wrists and turned the letter into a cloud of powder. He was already dreaming about his life in Chambord where he walked his pets, lived with beauties, leveled up his strength, and made a lot of money secretly.

-The fourth day-

Fei sneaked into the underground ocean. After he passed through the Mythical Gate, he traveled through the first 34 levels again.

Several days had passed, and there were a lot of new faces. However, most of them were people with strength from Six-Star to New Moon; no one was super powerful. These people were here, risking their lives to find treasures.

Since most of them were weak, the casualties were high.

Some people were killed because they triggered magic traps, some of them experienced the backlash from the [Martial Statues] and got their life energies sucked away, and some of them were killed by assassins who were there to kill people and get their treasures.

These people who were all elites in the outside world were killed in the Mythical Palace like animals. In this cruel world, lives were cheap and not valuable.

However, even though this was the case, a lot of masters came here from afar just to bet on their luck.

In the last while, a Nine-Star Warrior found a level 7 combat weapon, an Eight-Star Warrior found a Moon-Class Technique, a level 1 low-tier New Moon Elite found the blueprint of a magic array that could kill a Full Moon Elite, and many people were able to break through their long-time thresholds and advance into new realms……

This was the Mythical Palace.

It was a combination of heaven and hell, and death and extreme fortunate co-existed. Only the strong-minded cultivators could harvest the fruits of their actions.

Fei didn’t find anything when he wandered around, and he soon arrived at the [Elemental Altar]. Since it was used, the energy surge on it was gone. The people outside of it could no longer use it to bypass the dangerous level 35 region and enter the core region.

However, there were a lot of masters around here, and most of them were vicious and ill-intended.

They were all waiting for the people to come out of the level 36 region so that they could rob them.

It was heard that in the past, a few lucky cultivators who got to enter the level 36 region were attacked by many people and were assassinated by others. If the people who entered the core region weren’t powerful, even if they could get precious herbs and powerful combat weapons, they might lose their lives let alone losing their treasures.

The danger was everywhere.

Fei already saw more than a dozen broke corpses around the [Elemental Altar]. They were powerful masters when they were alive, but now, even the items of little value were taken away.

Also, he sensed a few murderous spirits hidden around the area.

After calculating the time, he realized that the Mythical Gate would only close in a few more days, and people like Hazel Bank would only be kicked out of that small world by then. Therefore, Fei turned around and decided to return to Dual-Flags City for now.

At this moment, several sharp murderous spirits revealed themselves.

Fei was surprised to find that he was targeted.
